Substrate spin treating apparatus

摘要

A substrate treating apparatus for performing a predetermined treatment of a substrate in a spin, has a spin motor including a rotor having a hollow opening centrally thereof, and a stator disposed coaxially with the rotor and having a hollow opening centrally thereof. The rotor includes holders for supporting the substrate in three peripheral positions thereof. A support mechanism switches the holders between a position for supporting the substrate, and a position retracted therefrom. The opposite surfaces of the substrate supported by the holders are cleaned with a cleaning solution supplied through nozzles. The holders have a substrate supporting force derived from a weight and magnetism of the support mechanism, to support the substrate reliably. A guide is disposed in the hollow of the rotor, and connected to the rotor. The holders are arranged in a substrate treating space formed inwardly of the guide. The holders are arranged on the guide. Thus, the spin motor is protected from exposure to a treating solution atmosphere.
